Tornado Chasers, S2 Episode 8: "Home, Part 2" 4K

[@thecascadianhiker9465]

The words "Unsurvivable Tornado" just send shivers up my spine.

[@soulessshadow5356]

That's EXACTLY what this monster was. Literally if you weren't in a underground shelter or a structure designed to handle 300+ mph winds, you basically signed your death warrent if you were in the path of this thing. My house was destroyed by this tornado, and the only thing that saved my family was a underground bunker my dad and I built specifically with something like this in mind. The house, our possessions, everything gone and our house was nothing but a foundation

[@soulessshadow5356]

@@lesliesmith7305 As someone who lived through both the 1999 and 2013 supertornado's that hit Moore, Oklahoma. As well as the El Reno tornado, and the "Canton Trio" more recently. It's impossible to explain the fear. I was also in Houston during Hurricane Harvey and to be honest, I was scared of what Harvey was capable of, but not near as scared as I was during these times. I don't know if I just have a bad habit of living in tornado stricken areas(Moore & El Reno, Oklahoma as well as Canton and Dekalb, Texas) or what, but there's honestly no words to correctly describe the raw fear and emotion something like this envokes.

[@anthonywhavers8232]

@@supertornadogun1690 I agree that this was more of an intense storm visually but in my opinion that's because of the location. More debris. If the El Reno storm would have hit a more densely populated area I cant imagine what it would have looked like with that amount of debris swirling around it. The multi vortex structure was way more intense with it. My opinion though. I hope and pray that an equivalent storm never hits a more populated area.

i remember watching the news he next day. seeing what happened on the weather channel. only thing i was thinking of what help could be given. i had several friends go down to help out. at the time i was having financial issues, but i really wanted to go help down there with the cleanup. if reed was there that day, he may have not survived. storm chasers are highly respected in the US, and i have a lot of respect for those guys. but to lose your home, neighbors, and family, that is a worse feeling then having to do your job. Fond du Lac (where i live) got hit twice at once last year. i lost a friend and his family.

[@thewindowsexperience489]

It's been 10 years now... Thankfully there has not yet been another F5 tornado.

[@clutchthecinnamonsergal8493]

Literally has been but they aren’t rating them EF5 anymore

[@thewindowsexperience489]

@@clutchthecinnamonsergal8493 The rating isn't retired. Both the F and EF systems are damage based, not wind based. A tornado has to create a certain amount and kind of damage to be rated an EF5 (the general rule is that it must be a well built house [they go into a lot of detail on the construction means of the house], must be completely destroyed and the foundation swept clean). Even if you go by wind speed, there haven't been many that reach the estimated windspeeds of an EF5, and even those that do didn't hit much other than maybe a few trees, so they're not rated EF5. If a mobile home is put on a foundation, it can be completely destroyed and swept clean off the foundation, but the tornado won't be rated an EF5 because the home wasn't well built. If I remember correctly, the indicators they use in defining a well built home includes anchors into the foundation that are bent inside the foundation or expand so that they can't be pulled out. I imagine that most homes built in the United States nowadays would be classified as well built by the National Weather Service. I'm not an expert, but this is my understanding on the situation, that being that it literally has been more than 10 years since a tornado actually caused EF5 damage (even if there have been a few that had the wind speeds of an EF5, like El Reno) TL;DR: Ratings are damage based, not windspeed based. If a tornado didn't cause EF5 damage, it won't be rated EF5.

[@BackToMotika]

from what I read, briarwood school was completely destroyed in this tornado, but all the teachers and the kids survived. some of the teachers had the genius idea of placing the desks up against the walls and when the walls collapsed, anybody trapped under them survived. that's what I want to take home from this disaster. praise to those teachers ❤

I love this youtube channel because you get to see a tornado without the threat of being dead but thats what makes it fun.

[@TheROB0TGuy]

Jim Cantore! God I love that guy! Especially when he gets excited like I do about Thundersnow! On another note, my thoughts and prayers are with those, who were affected by this!

[@poodook]

You do amazing work, Reed. Thanks for documenting and sharing such beautiful, yet also unnerving, natural phenomena.

[@elizabethmccready]

I helped with some cleanup efforts almost a year later, and the devastation was just unbelievable.

[@johnd5244]

This brought tears to my eyes again.

[@stephaniemizelle7014]

Thank you for taking the time to show the human side of all of you and these devistating storms

[@afrhspook]

One of the most terrifying sights and sounds. Great coverage Jim and Reed and all stormchasers! Stay Safe!

[@jasonvoorhees8416]

Man i remember watching this unfold right before I got my daughter off the bus. It breaks my heart that all those people and children suffered.

[@kinggoobat1174]

This episode brought me to tears. I am so sorry. i know im late to this but still makes me hurt for you guys

[@railandaviation]

Hey reed I started watching the show because I have an interest in weather and my condolences to anyone who lost loved ones in may 2013 I’m also a fan of the show

[@jaredkinneyjr]

This was incredible!!! I had never clicked on it before cuz i thought i had already seen this & thought it was the Discovery series which i already saw but this was so so much better

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Thank you so much Jared! We need to work on a new season

[@Redmist-se7ld]

I still have this on Blu-ray signed by all the chasers just wish they did a season 3

[@ford4life069]

I wish they still live streamed on tvn. I really appreciated being able to watch chasers all over and especially close to me. My fave was David Drummond who has disappeared off FB just in the last month. He posted an April Fools Day joke and poof, gone. I am hoping he didn't get hurt. I always watched his stream because he was from my little Texas home town.

[@pacman4521]

I really wish they did more seasons :(

I can only imagine. I’m a parent. And that feeling when your rushing to see if your kid is ok.

[@frankocountrylivin8099]

Excellent work I see at the end of the video a statue of Our Lady in someones garden untouched which is a miracle considering the strength and force of the tornado that flattened houses and thrown cars around like candy , great coverage and sincere sympathy and condolences to all the families who lost loved ones . God rest their souls

[@GMAuraeon]

I cannot help but feel this sorrow not only because of you losing your chance to cover that EF5, but I also feel that pain of not being able to be there to help save lives. It's just such a devastating thing just witness on video, but seeing all that disbelief and the tone of your crew... I would have likely ended up in tears... I honestly feel so powerless, I wish I was there to help, or to at least warn people

[@AmvReverdedStudios]

man... this episode tugged at my heart. I felt so hopeless! This was THE WORST case scenario... How do people move on from this?

[@kevinkerns1658]

I took in alot watching Reed. And I attended several storm chasing classes and have gotten several certifications. Storms like these are ones we don't ever want to see. That's also why I trained in first aid and became a certified EMT. So I can immediately switch from chaser to first responder search and rescue.

[@MKPiatkowski]

Thank you for doing that.

I went on a mission trip summer 13 and summer 14 to moore. we fixed up a different elementary school and fixed up a families house that wasn't exactly leveled down but still suffered damage. a year later and she still had shit in her backyard and could afford to fix anything so she has cheap ass coolers in the house instead of a fridge. we put money together and bought her a fridge and stocked it and and cleaned out the backyard.

These longer style videos are so entertaining and informative. You really get to know everyone in the videos

[@alexlevins1799]

The scariest part of debris is knowing there might be people, dead or alive, possibly disfigured or torn apart, flying through it. You might be seeing a person and mistaking it for building pieces. That's horrifying to think about. I can only imagine the tragic and graphic aftermath that people might come across. I'd be scarred for life.

[@gennypotterplayzggtv2136]

Dude tornados can rip people up? The f?

NOT TRUE!! People are on the border of too heavy so when they get picked up they are thrown, and ef5's are so powerful that they slam not pick up or throw unless things are supper light like house pieces after getting slammed to peices
